< प्रस्थान 9 >
1 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “फारोकहाँ गएर भन्, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मेरो आराधना गर्नलाई मेरो मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।
Then Jehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 तैँले तिनीहरूलाई जान दिन इन्कार गरिस् र तिनीहरूलाई अझै पनि रोकिस् भने
For if thou refuse to let them go, and will still hold them,
3 परमप्रभुको हात खेतहरू, घोडाहरू, गधाहरू, ऊँटहरू, गाईवस्तुहरू र भेडा-बाख्राहरूमाथि पर्नेछ र यसले डरलाग्दो रोग उत्पन्न गराउनेछ ।
behold, the hand of Jehovah is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the donkeys, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks-a very grievous pestilence.
4 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका गाईवस्तु र मिश्रका गाईवस्तु छुट्ट्याउनेहुनेछ र इस्राएलीहरूको कुनै पनि गाईवस्तु मर्नेछैन ।
And Jehovah shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt, and there shall nothing die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.
5 परमप्रभुले समय निधो गरिसक्नुभएको छ । उहाँले भन्नुभएको छ, “भोलि यस देशमा म यो काम गर्नेछु ।”
And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land.
6 परमप्रभुले अर्को दिन त्यही गर्नुभयो । मिश्रका सबै गाईवस्तु मरे, तर इस्राएलीहरूका पशुहरू भने जीवितै रहे, एउटै पनि मरेन ।
And Jehovah did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died, but of the cattle of the sons of Israel not one died.
7 फारोले अनुसन्धान गर्दा इस्राएलीहरूका एउटै पनि पशु नमेरोको पाए । तर तिनको ह्रदय हठी भयो, त्यसैले तिनले मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् ।
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
8 तब परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “भट्टीबाट मुट्ठीभर खरानी लेओ । तँ मोशाले फारोले हेरिरहँदा त्यस खरानीलाई आकाशमा फ्याँक्नू ।
And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 ती मिश्र देशभरि मसिनो धुलो बन्नेछन् । तिनले मिश्र देशका सबै मानिस र पशुहरूमा फोका र खटिरा ल्याउनेछन् ।”
And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with sores upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
10 त्यसैले मोशा र हारूनले भट्टीबाट खरानी लिएर फारोको सामुन्ने खडा भए । त्यसपछि मोशाले खरानीलाई हावामा फ्याँके । खरानीले मानिस र पशुहरूमा फोका र खटिरा ल्याए ।
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven, and it became a boil breaking forth with sores upon man and upon beast.
11 फोकाको कारणले जादुगरहरूले मोशाको विरोध गर्न सकेनन् । किनकि फोका सबै मिश्रीमाथि आइपरेको थियो ।
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
12 परमप्रभुले फारोको ह्रदय कठोर पारिदिनुभयो । त्यसैले फारोले मोशा र हारूनको कुरा सुनेनन् । फारोले मोशाको कुरा सुन्नेथिएन भनी परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएझैँ भयो ।
And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not hearken to them, as Jehovah had spoken to Moses.
13 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “बिहान सबेरै उठेर फारोको सामुन्ने खडा हो र त्यसलाई भन्, 'हिब्रूहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः मेरो आराधना गर्न मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान दे ।
And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 किनकि यो पटक तँ, तेरा अधिकारीहरू र तेरा मानिसहरूमाथि म मेरा सबै विपत्ति ल्याउनेछु । सारा पृथ्वीमा मजस्तो कोही रहेनछ भनी तैँले जान् भनी म यसो गर्नेछु ।
For this time I will send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, that thou may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
15 यति बेलासम्म त मैले मेरो हात पसारेर तँ र तेरा मानिसहरूलाई रोगले आक्रमण गरेको भए तँ यस धरतीबाट मटिनेथिइस् ।
For now I have put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou have been cut off from the earth.
16 मेरो नाउँ सारा पृथ्वीभरि घोषणा हुन सकोस् भनेर मेरो शक्ति देखाउनलाई मैले तँलाई जीवित रहने अनुमति दिएँ ।
But indeed for this cause I have raised thee up, to display in thee my power, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.
17 मेरा मानिसहरूलाई जान नदिएर तैँले अझै पनि आफूलाई उचालिरहेको छस् ।
As yet thou exalt thyself against my people, that thou will not let them go?
18 सुन्! भोलि यसै बेलातिर म निकै शक्तिशाली असिना बर्साउनेछु जुन मिश्र सुरु भएदेखि आजको दिनसम्म बर्सिएको छैन ।
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19 अब मानिसहरू पठाएर तेरा खेतहरूमा भएका तेरा गाईवस्तु र हरेक जे-जति छन् तिनलाई सुरक्षित स्थानमा जम्मा गर् । खेतमा भएका र घरमा नल्याइएका हरेक मानिस र पशुमाथि असिना बर्सनेछ र तिनीहरू मर्नेछन् ।”
Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou have in the field, for every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
20 परमप्रभुको सन्देशमा विश्वास गर्ने फारोका अधिकारीहरूले दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई घरहरूमा हुल्न हतार गरे ।
He who feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.
21 तर परमप्रभुको सन्देशलाई गम्भीरतापूर्वक नलिनेहरूले तिनीहरूका दासदासीहरू र गाईवस्तुहरूलाई खेतहरूमा छाडिदिए ।
And he who did not regard the word of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 तब परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो हात आकाशमाथि पसार् ताकि मिश्र देशमा असिना बर्सोस् । ती मिश्र देशभरिका मानिसहरू, पशुहरू खेतमा भएका सबै बोट-बिरुवामा बर्सून् ।”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23 मोशाले आफ्नो लट्ठी आकाशतिर पसारे र परमप्रभुले जमिनमा गर्जन, असिना र बिजुली पठाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले मिश्र देशमा असिना बर्साइदिनुभयो । बिजुलीसँगै असिना मिसिएर आएको थियो ।
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven, and Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth, and Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 यो यति डरलाग्दो थियो कि मिश्र राज्य भएदेखि त्यस देशमा यस्तो कहिल्यै भएको थिएन ।
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 मिश्र देशभरि असिनाले खेतमा भएका हरेक कुरासाथै मानिस र पशुहरू दुवैलाई प्रहार गर्यो । यसले खेतहरूमा भएको हरेक बोट-बिरुवालाई प्रहार गर्नुका साथै हरेक रुख भाँचिदियो ।
And throughout all the land of Egypt the hail smote all that was in the field, both man and beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 इस्राएलीहरू बसेको गोशेन प्रदेशमा मात्र असिना परेको थिएन ।
Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 त्यसपछि फारोले मोशा र हारूनलाई बोलाउन मानिसहरू पठाए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यस पटक मैले पाप गरेको छु । परमप्रभु धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ अनि म र मेरा मानिसहरू दुष्ट छौँ ।
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time. Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 परमप्रभुलाई बिन्ती चढाऊ किनकि शक्तिशाली गर्जन र असिना अति भएका छन् । म तिमीहरूलाई जान दिनेछु र अब उसो तिमीहरू यहाँ बस्नुपर्नेछैन ।”
Entreat Jehovah, for there has been enough of these mighty thunderings and hail, and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29 मोशाले तिनलाई भने, “मैले सहर छाड्ने बित्तिकै म मेरो हात परमप्रभुतिर फैलाउनेछु । गर्जन रोकिनेछ र अब उसो असिना पर्नेछैन । यसरी पृथ्वी परमप्रभुको हो रहेछ भनी तपाईंले थाहा पाउनुहुनेछ ।
And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to Jehovah. The thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail, that thou may know that the earth is Jehovah's.
30 तर तपाईं र तपाईंका अधिकारीहरूको सवालमा तपाईंहरूले वास्तवमा परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्नुहुन्न भनी म जान्दछु ।”
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Jehovah God.
31 अब सनपाट र जौ नष्ट भए किनकि जौमा बाला लागेको थियो र सनपाटचाहिँ फुलिसकेको थियो ।
And the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
32 तर गहुँ र कठियागहुँलाई हानि भएन किनकि ती पछि पाक्छन् ।
But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were not grown up.
33 जब मोशाले फारो र सहरलाई छाडे तिनले आफ्ना हात परमप्रभुतिर फैलाए । गर्जन र असिना रोकिए अनि पानी पर्न छाड्यो ।
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to Jehovah, and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34 वर्षा, असिना र गर्जन रोकिएको देखेपछि फारोले फेरि पाप गरे र तिनले आफ्नो ह्रदय कठोर पारे र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले पनि त्यसै गरे ।
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 फारोको ह्रदय कठोर भयो । त्यसैले तिनले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई जान दिएनन् । फारोले यसै गर्नेथिए भनी परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभएको थियो ।
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses.
